§ Mr. Bruceasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what will be the total capacity of the generating stations of the two Scottish electricty boards, including oil-fired capacity, when Torness becomes fully operational.
§ Mr. Allan StewartI am advised by the Scottish electricity boards that their maximum available sent-out capacity in 1989–90, taking Torness at its full output capacity, will be 9,788 MW. This includes 1,284 MW of oil-fired capacity which is available for immediate operational use but excludes 1,926 MW of oil-fired capacity held in reserve which is not so available, and also excludes generating plant on the Scottish islands.
